We study the role of performance differences in a task requiring cognitive effort on in-group bias. We show that the in …-group bias is strong in groups consisting of high-performing members, and it is weak in low-performing groups. This holds … although high-performing subjects exhibit no in-group bias as members of minimal groups, whereas low-performing subjects …

We derive bounds on the causal effect of belief-dependent preferences (reciprocity and guilt aversion) on choices in sequential two-player games without exploiting information or data on the (higher-order) beliefs of players. We show how informative bounds can be derived by exploiting a specific...
